 What You Should Bring Along For Your Presentation
OPTIONAL:
Please bring in 15-20 copies of your (printed) paper (powerpoint slides or full paper) for
distribution at your session to other participants (this is optional).
MANDATORY:
Please print out at least 1 copy of your full paper and hand it to the chair of the
session at the beginning of your presentation.
If you do not provide a copy of the full paper to the session chair or the conference
organisers, we will be unable to email you an evaluation report for your paper.
Each author will have about 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions and
discussion. We suggest you to spend less time (not more than 5 minutes) on
introduction and literature review sections of your paper. Please focus and spend
more time (the remaining 10 minutes) on your model, data, result analysis/findings
and significance or implication of your research.
The room will have LCD and laptop computer and please bring your pen-drive or USB
stick for power-point presentation. However, we do not guarantee that they will work
without any failure. Please do not embarrass us by asking for pen-drive as we do not
prove this.
In the past, we have faced issues where authors have put their USB in their unaccompanied
luggage which did not arrive with them or they have emailed the presentation to themselves.
We highly recommend that you carry your USB with you at all times and not put it with
your unaccompanied luggage and that you also do not just email the presentation to
yourself. You should save your presentation on a USB stick as well.
***Please ensure that you save your presentation file both in 2003 and 2007/2010
versions incase the computers do not support the latest version. If you have only a
2007 version and the hotel provides only 2003 office software, we will not take any
responsibility for converting your presentation from 2007 to 2003.
***Please note that we do not offer any internet access in the presentation rooms.
However, wifi maybe available at the hotel but there is no guarantee and there may be a
cost involved, which is payable by you if you choose to use this service. The hotel may have
a business centre that you may be able to use at your own expense.
 What About Tea/Coffee Break and Lunch?
Break-foods and Tea/coffee during all breaks will be served inside the presentation room

regarding these reports. However, if you do not receive them by this deadline, then contact
us via email: [email protected]

Editorial Review Report (ERR) within 5-6 months months after the conference, in addition to

feedback at the conference and journal’s guidelines. You are required to send us your
revised full paper (after compliance to the PER and ERR and editorial observations,
comments, if any, you received at the conference) within 2 months after we send you the

your paper was not accepted for any of our journals, However, if you improve your paper
according to the feedback you receive at the conference and/or via review report, we can
5
reconsider the paper for journal publication at that stage. Please note that it is not

the time of revision. We will endeavour, though not guaranteed, to publish your paper
